Software measures multiple parameters independently of other
devices
HBMs DeviceTypeManager (DTM) for the digiCLIP amplifier
provides central control for all devices in a modern production
system for improved asset management. The software enables system
operators to set up amplifiers, visualize measured values and
manage device settings centrally both in the device and in the
machine control system.

Integration and
operation is implemented via the system control station or globally
via the Internet using Field Device Technology (FDT) principles,
for more information visit www.fdtgroup.org/en. All aspects of
modern system asset management  such as system condition,
machine parameters and production capacity  are available
to the operator. Using these techniques the DTM is optimally
matched to any device ensuring that each device is used optimally.

HBMs digiCLIP
amplifiers are used for monitoring forces and torques in production
or filling processes and can be easily integrated into a production
system to provide graphical displays of key information. Integration
utilizes the Profibus DPV1 protocol which makes it possible to
integrate any devices into a system whatever their manufacturer
or fieldbus protocol.

The DTM for the
digiCLIP amplifier is supplied with every module on a CD and
can also be obtained free of charge from www.hbm.com/dtm making
it possible to retrofit production systems with the FDT/DTM technology.
